Summer in Kansas City can be tough on trees. Between high temperatures, long dry spells, sudden storms, and an uptick in insect activity, even the healthiest trees can quickly become stressed or damaged. The good news? Most of these issues are preventable with the right care—and that’s exactly what our Plant Health Care Program is designed to provide.
At Grade-A Tree Care, we’ve created a program focused on long-term tree health and early intervention. Here’s how it works—and why summer is the perfect time to enroll.
1. Regular Inspections to Catch Problems Early
Summer is prime time for stress-related symptoms to appear: wilting leaves, discolored foliage, pest activity, and fungal growth. Our Plant Health Care Program includes scheduled visits from trained professionals who know how to spot early warning signs before they become major issues.
By identifying concerns like borers, mites, bagworms, or nutrient deficiencies early, we can take action quickly and effectively—saving you time, money, and the potential loss of valuable trees.
2. Targeted Treatments for Pests and Disease
Kansas City trees face a range of seasonal pests in the summer, including:
- Japanese beetles
- Bagworms
- Spider mites
- Emerald Ash Borer
Our team applies safe, effective treatments customized for your specific tree species and pest risks. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all sprays. Instead, we target what’s needed—when it’s needed—for maximum impact with minimal disruption to your yard.
3. Soil and Root Health Support
A tree’s health starts underground. Heat and drought in summer can dry out soil, compact roots, and limit the availability of key nutrients.
Our Plant Health Care Program includes:
- Soil condition assessments
- Recommendations for mulching and watering
- Deep root fertilization, when necessary
By strengthening the root system, we help trees stay resilient through even the hottest parts of summer—and recover faster from stress.
4. Guidance That’s Specific to Kansas City
We understand Kansas City’s climate, soil, and seasonal patterns. That local expertise allows us to tailor your tree care based on what’s happening in your specific neighborhood—from Leawood to Prairie Village and everywhere in between.
Whether you’re caring for mature oaks or newer landscape plantings, our team delivers customized advice that works with the rhythm of our region.
5. Peace of Mind All Season Long
Summer storms, unexpected tree damage, and sudden pest outbreaks are stressful. With our program, you have a partner ready to respond and advise. You’ll also receive:
- Ongoing communication about your trees’ health
- Priority scheduling for any urgent services
